params2edr.RdCreates a nested list whose components are suitable for passing to EDR.
params2edr(params, sep = ".", prospect = TRUE, version = 5)
| params | Named parameter vector |
|---|---|
| sep | Separator between PFT name and trait name. Must be a single character (default = "."). |
| prospect | Logical. If |
| version | PROSPECT version |
List containing spectra_list and trait.values, both objects needed by EDR.
If prospect = TRUE, parameters prefixed with prospect_ are passed to
prospect with the specified version, and other parameters are passed to
trait.values.
The regular expression defining the separation is greedy, i.e.
temperate.Early_Hardwood.SLA will separate into temperate.Early_Hardwood
and SLA (assuming the default sep = "."). Therefore, it is crucial that
trait names not contain any sep characters (neither ED nor PROSPECT
parameters should anyway). If this is a problem, use an alternate separator
(e.g. |).
Note that using sep = "." allows this function to directly invert the
default behavior of unlist. That is, calling
unlist(params2edr(params, prospect = FALSE)$trait.values) will return the input vector of
trait values. This makes unlist a convenient way to go from a
trait.values list to a properly formatted params vector.
Because unused ED parameters in the config.xml are ignored, the PROSPECT
parameters are saved in the trait.values object as well, which may be
useful for debugging.
